YORKTOWN - The Yorktown Kitty Kats volleyball team won consolation in the Yorktown South Texas Showdown on Aug. 13-14.

The Kitty Kats lost a close match up with last years 3A regional finalist George West losing 23-25, 28-30.

They went on to beat Gonzales pinning them against Tilden for consolation.

Tilden had gotten the best of Yorktown twice last season so Yorktown head volleyball coach Deirdra Alexander was proud of their win and the improvement of the team. She said, “Tilden had a strong middle blocker but defensively they struggled and we were able to dominate that match.”

The championship game was a battle between last year’s state qualifier Lindsay and Weimar.

The Kitty Kats were Lindsay’s toughest opponent in the tournament leading up to the finale.

Danielle Wilson threw her personal best in the discus during the AAU Junior Olympic games held in Norfolk, Virginia on Aug. 2-3 at Norfolk State University.

Last year, Danielle finished 26th against 45 girls with a throw of 16-06 in the shot put. This year she placed 31 out of 70 participants with a six foot improvement and a throw of 22-06.

New to the discus throw, Danielle managed her way to compete at the national level. There were 43 participants. Danielle threw the discus 60-09 putting her in 31st place and breaking her personal record.

Father and personal coach, Kevin Wilson said, “Four more feet would have earned her a medal for 8th place. She may have done that but she fouled on her first throw which rattled her a little bit. That’s part of the learning experience, learning how to stay focused after a bad throw.”
